Geoje Island Winter Getaway

From 12 Feb to 22 Feb 2015.

I had a very sweet vacation (solo traveller) in Geoje Island, South Korea. It wasn't like my other vacations with friends in Hong Kong, Philippines and Bali, where everyday packed with activities and places to go. It was very tiring and super exhausted in the end of the day. My 10 days in South Korea more like a retreat, relaxing getaway. What made it sweet was I didn't have anything plan out, in fact I never plan to visit South Korea. It's more like an impulse vacation, got the air tickets 10 days before takeoff. I stayed at friend's place thus not feeling guilty for just lie-in instead of grabbing all the waking moments to visit all the places I can. 

enjoyed the chilling weather, the gloomy spooky tree scenery, Korean naked bath in Spa Land, pork bbq was very nice in the winter (I think we will melt having bbq in tropical country), the Korean top notch Customer Service (felt like a VVIP), Korean skincare haul (I'm not myself anymore at Incheon Airport duty free), and etc etc etc...

Let's see bits of the photo diaries:
